David Bowie 'Next Day' info
Thank you for adding a well-sourced paragraph in the David Bowie article about his controversial "Next Day" video. It's great to see any editor, especially a new one, take the time to cite reliable references for the material they add.

I've rewritten the text, however, because it was an exact copy from the CBS News article. Just about any text more than a word or two, when copied verbatim, should be quoted (i.e., "put in quotes") to make clear that the prose comes from another source. Also, anything more than a sentence or two should also be rewritten in the editor's own words to avoid copyright violations. While it's not unusual to quote several sentences or even a paragraph from a source, these excerpts should only be used to illustrate a point already (originally) written by Wikipedia editors; they should not be Wikipedia's entire statement on a subject.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me on my talk page. Thanks again for your contribution! ~ Jeff Q (talk) 09:03, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Jeremy Scott. While objective prose about beliefs, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. Thomas.W (talk) 07:34, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
